the Was. of Jimmy McVonson - act one; division five: hUnting & f;shing p1

uncle seth said he remembered me

i didn’t remember him

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwmDkrBUGO

he wore camouflage pants

he had a scruffy moustache

and rough sideburns

he would cough every time he laughed

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIcK3uT4CT

he hugged pops when we arrived

and shook gail’s hand

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZx4RASQJU

then he shook my hand

firmly

and ruffled the hair on the top of my head

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMKOH9sEXu

“nice to see you, jim” he grinned

showing less teeth than i expected

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbAhMvccVX

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV9keTrHE3

we settled down

and put our luggage in the rooms where we were sleeping

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwFBQJHZ6C

i didn’t want to know

that gail and pops

would be in the same bed

but i hated myself for caring

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ94Zk9y5Ne

at least i had a room to myself

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2UFbwdwe8

there was no wifi at uncle seth’s house

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR0Op5VV1N

and no reception

so there was no way for me to talk to pandora

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaduKsIOye

gail tried to tell me it’s better that way

“the internet connects us with people far away

“but it separates us from people who are right in front of us.”

i didn’t quite see her point

i wanted to be separated

from the people in front of me

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oQAr3QK2G

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbVfbII82w

uncle seth woke me up at 5 in the morning

“come fishing with me”

he whispered

“it’ll be fun.”

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiEbjBED3v

“i’m a vegan”

i whispered back

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVS0VXEn7H

he scoffed

“no, really. you’ll love it.”

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZbAz8VPVt

he took me out to a bridge

over a lake

that was so quiet

i could hear my own heartbeat

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91udBrhmcR

he showed me how to prepare a fishing rod

and we waited

lines in the water

for something to happen

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRNGddPpHD

uncle seth took a lunchbox out of his satchel

“hungry?”

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa3SgPnl80

i nodded.

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHegzf1mwr

he handed me a bun

he must have prepared?

before?

5 in the morning?

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7UavNdcyz

i looked inside

it was ham

and cheese

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhU1bJQOQW

would i rather kill a pig?

or force a cow to lactate for me?

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi01IiDhF2i

why was life always like that?

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYZBLm9459

“ham and cheese?” i muttered, quietly.

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrupkXoMpj

“oh, yeah, boys don’t like pink food

“i’m sorry.”

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgaXBzybpv

i looked in his eyes for a sign of humour

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHf5riQzqQ

but he was being

serious

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbbsR7c0LE

“but, jim, you’ve got to believe me

“ham is a very manly food

“it’s meat, you know”

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNbIyXfsly

“i know”

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzg2LBIOom

i ate the whole thing

two of them actually

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMN6XH4vP5

at least it’s food

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bnRHYLVV6

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajCD1kJK2j

after we didn’t catch anything fishing

uncle seth took me back to the cabin

gail and pops were having breakfast

gail insulted me for not catching anything

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSHXEZ2tPe

“we’re going hunting now”

uncle seth told them, excitedly

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSopgLZCBan

“i thought we were done”

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EEyXZOS32

“no, jim

“i’ve got a whole day planned for us”
